Faulty sockets

Socket repairs in East London

Socket stopped working?

A socket can lose power because of the fitting itself or the wiring behind it. I'll check both before recommending a repair. When you get in touch, tell me whether it's just one socket or several.

The job you need

What is happening?

When you contact me, include when the problem started and how much of your home is affected.

One socket has no power

Are the other sockets in the room still working? Let me know when this one stopped working and what was plugged into it.

The connection is unreliable

If power cuts in and out, describe when it happens. I'll check the socket and its connections during the visit.

A socket is loose or cracked

Replacing the faceplate may be part of the repair, but the wiring behind it needs checking too.

Kitchen sockets have lost power

Tell me which appliances have stopped working and whether they're plugged into the same group of sockets. I can investigate the circuit as well as the individual fittings.

During the visit

What the work involves

The existing wiring affects what can be done. I'll check it and explain the work before you agree to it.

I'll check the socket and the circuit feeding it to find the fault.

Once I know what needs repairing, you get the explanation and price before the work starts.

The repaired socket and any connections I've worked on are checked afterwards.

Looking for an extra socket? See socket installation. Repeated trips affecting several rooms are covered under electrical fault finding.

Heat, scorching, burning smells or crackling?

Stop using the affected fitting and contact an electrician. Keep covers closed and do not touch the wiring when taking a photo.

Arranging a visit

Booking a visit

Your postcode and a description of the problem give me enough to start. We can then agree a time and the visit charge.

Speak with Dzhelal

Tell me what's stopped working, or what you'd like installed. A photo is useful if the fitting is difficult to describe.

Book a time

I'll check when I can get to your address and explain the visit charge before we book a time.

Confirm the price

For a repair, the price depends on what I find. I'll explain it before doing that work.

Before you get in touch

Before you book

Ask about the visit charge when you contact me. Any repair work is priced once I've checked the problem.

Is one faulty socket too small a job?

No, I take small jobs. A single socket is fine.

Can you do this in a flat?

Yes. Please mention any entry code or access arrangements when we book the visit.

Do I need to buy a replacement socket?

Contact me first. The fault may be in the wiring, so buying a new fitting before it has been checked could be unnecessary.

What will a socket repair cost?

I'll tell you the visit charge when we arrange a time. The repair price comes once I've found the fault, before I start fixing it.
